She was always the "good girl," the perfect daughter. Every choice, every action, meticulously planned and approved by her parents. No late nights, no questionable friends, no impulsive decisions. But behind the flawless facade, a yearning for freedom simmered. The unspoken rules, the constant scrutiny, the suffocating pressure to maintain perfection, it all chipped away at her spirit. Now, facing a future predetermined by others, she makes a reckless, defiant choice, to abandon the carefully constructed life they built for her and forge her own path, embracing the messy, unpredictable beauty of a life lived on her own terms, even if it means losing everything she's ever known.

As the eldest daughter and heiress of the Aragon clan, Crescencia Ravenna Aragon was born to lead-with grace, grit, and a heart trained to obey. She's spent her life following tradition, carrying the weight of her family's name, and preparing for a marriage she didn't choose. But everything changes when she crosses paths with Hector Yaroslav Llamareal-the esteemed mayor of Poblacion Llameante, a man just as bound by duty as she is. He needs a wife. She needs a way out. A marriage of convenience seems like the perfect solution-a simple deal with no emotions involved. But from the moment they make their agreement, everything changes. One kiss blurs the line between duty and desire. One touch turns their cold arrangement into something more dangerous. What starts as a clean-cut deal slowly unravels into stolen glances, lingering touches, and a longing she can no longer deny. Because some fires, once lit, can never be put out. Because in a town where power rules and passion burns hotter than the sun, Crescencia is no longer just his wife-she is The Mayor's Inamorata. This is the First book of Poblacion Llameante Series. *** Started: March 10, 2025 Ended: Status: Ongoing Language: Tagalog-English
